This jacket has been specifically designed for those who travel by plane as it is the result of painstaking research on the most suitable materials for reducing weight to a minimum. Nothing has been left to chance in the search to achieve a record lightweight BCD, beginning with the material 210 denier nylon which is light yet very strong. All the D-rings are made from a light alloy (Size Medium weighs only 5.5 lbs.). The soft back pack is padded for comfort and incorporates a light rubber area to grip the cylinder with dual cylinder bands for stability.
BCD Cressi Travellight Blue
Original Cressi
The BCD is equipped with two large zippered accessory pockets for storage of your back-up light or small digital camera. Pockets supply more room then on other BCD's which can barely hold your dive gloves. The integrated Lock Aid quick-release weight system hold up to 20 lbs (9 kg), with 10 lbs (4.5 kg) in each pocket, and two additional rear non-releasable trim weight pockets that help increase stability in the water.
The waistband/cummerbund harness assembly is an independent suspension system that allows the cylinder and the diver to keep proper stability and avoid cylinder shifting on the back, while allowing the BCD's air cell to fully inflate away from the diver not causing restriction or crushing effect as with non-ergonomic designs. Adjustable sternum straps along with both torso adjustment straps are equipped with quick-release buckles.
BCD has three over-pressure relief/dump valves with two located on the left and right shoulders and a third lower valve on the rear right of the air cell. All three can be manually dumped two with pull cords and the other with the power inflator mechanism. The Travelight can be folded up in just a few seconds and fastened with a special retractable strap so that it can be stowed easily in its carry bag, which comes with a shoulder strap. The Travelight's very light structure and its anatomical shape make it a very tight-fitting, hydrodynamic and streamlined when underwater.
